Home Town: Waterford, MS
General Orders No. 35, W.D., 1919
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Oliver Thomas Robinson, Sergeant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Vaux Andigny, France, October 10, 1918. Although severely wounded, Sergeant Robinson displayed remarkable coolness in extricating his platoon from an extremely dangerous position under terrific shell and machine-gun fire, thereby saving it from almost certain annihilation. Being wounded a second time, he refused to go to the rear until ordered to do so by his company commander.
